Old metric: max(||h||) / max(||h_0||, eps). False-positives on ViT-style
architectures because the cls token at layer 0 (right after patch_embed)
has anomalously small magnitude (~0.3-1.5), inflating the ratio even on
healthy BP-trained ViTs.

New metric: max_l(||h_{l+1}|| / ||h_l||) — the largest single-block
residual amplification. Architecture-invariant.

Calibration:
  - BP-trained, late training: <5x per block
  - BP ViT, early epochs (cls token resolving): 13-25x max
  - DFA-trained ResMLP/ViT: 100-4000x per block
Threshold raised from 10 to 50 to sit cleanly between healthy-early-
training (max 25) and failure-regime (min 100).

Re-verifications:
  - smoke test (BP/DFA/EP): all 3 verdicts unchanged
  - random init (3 seeds): trustworthy on all 3
  - 5-method audit table single-seed: identical verdicts
  - decision-utility ablation: identical (still 0/5 by S1, 3/5 by S_full)
  - temporal evolution 3-seed: (b) now fires first at ep 3-4, (a) at ep
    8-11. Both well before training ends. The 'protocol fires ~92 epochs
    early' story still holds.
  - ViT temporal evolution: BP no longer false-fires; DFA fires (a) ep 1,
    (b) ep 3 — protocol works on the second architecture.

Builds on the 5-method audit JSON. For each method, evaluates 7 reporting
strategies (S0=acc only, S1=+Γ field standard, S2-S5=+single diagnostic,
S_full=full protocol), and emits the verdict each strategy would have
reached.

Result: 3 of 5 methods (DFA/SB/CB) are walked back by S_full but NOT by S1.
Each of (a)scale, (b)floor, (d)frozen is independently sufficient for
binary detection of those 3 failures. Diagnostic (c)stability adds
sub-mode discrimination (drift vs noise) but not new positive detections.

This is the §3 protocol decision-utility evidence.
